The Whole Team

So last time I introduced you to Alison and Karin, the core team of Re-Live. Although they are obviously very talented and completely passionate about the work, they wouldn’t be able to do it alone. So here are some quick introductions to the rest of the team working on Memoria.

Julie Towson is our wonderful stage manager. Having trained at Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama Julie has worked in theatre and events for over 15 years. She has worked for all kinds of organisations including the Tobacco Factory in Bristol. She even spent some time living and working in New Zealand. Her big passion is animal rights and she always walks her two dogs at the crack of dawn before coming into rehearsals.

Our incredible set is being designed by Garry Bartlett. He also designed Re-Live’s last show ‘age’, including the beautiful poster. As if that wasn’t enough Garry is also a technical wiz and constructed the Re-Live website. What would we do without him?

To compliment Garry’s inspired set Dan Young will be designing the lighting. Dan has worked on previous Re-Live productions collaborating with Garry. Having worked at Chapter since 1997 Dan, in his own words, ‘can be found haunting the darkened backstage areas of the theatre’.

The Company having fun in rehearsal

Next up is the multitalented James Clark. If you’ve seen any other Re-Live productions James’s face will certainly be familiar. Currently James is studying music at Royal welsh (everyone seems to train there!) and plays the piano and accordion. He is composing original musical accompaniment for Memoria and is in every rehearsal providing atmospheric music.

I haven’t said too much about the online aspect of this production so far, I’ll lift the lid next week. But working hard on getting us ready for our online broadcasts is our mega talented Digital Producer, Alex Russell. Alex has recently worked on good cop bad cop’s “Lleisiau/Voices”. This unusual event also took place at Chapter and was shown online for all to see.

Last but not least is me – Chelsey. I’m doing the marketing for Memoria, contacting organisations who we think may be interested in the work, posting on Facebook and Twitter and obviously writing this blog. I’ve been a huge fan of Re-Live since I saw their production of Abandoned Brothers and I haven’t missed a show since. It’s a great privilege for me to be part of the team for such an inspiring production.
